Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 183: The Last Phoenix
It's over...
The screams of the house-elf gradually diminished and then disappeared completely.
The traces of the "saints" also disappeared
There is only one lonely castle left——
There are also three children who can hardly believe what just happened in front of them...
"Unforgivable...unforgivable...unforgivable..." murmured Hermione Granger, her eyes were red; the tears were almost gone, because they had been cried dry!
"Let's go..." Neville whispered, "Get out of here...we shouldn't be here."
This brave boy's voice also became a little trembling at this time... Everything that happened just now was almost beyond his heart's ability to bear.
Matthew nodded slightly.
Then Hermione also stood up.
Just when they were about to turn around and leave——
Matthew Wakefield's expression changed suddenly.
"Wait a minute!" he said hastily.
He first squatted down steadily, and hid in the bushes again... Then, he started to take out a wallet from his pocket, which Neville gave him for Christmas a few months ago. Gift.
"What's going on?" Neville asked curiously.
Matthew didn't speak, but quickly opened the wallet...
Just now in his pocket, he felt his wallet was getting hot all the time.
Sure enough... the hot thing was the "Flor flower" that he hid in his wallet!
Floor is a very magical plant. Their fresh petals have a deep connection with the rhizome...then the two have been separated for a while, and the rhizome will still point to the direction where the petals are.
When such guidance is made, the rhizome will heat up.
But now it's very strange, because I haven't tried to use this flor flower since I secretly got it a few months ago... All the petals stayed on it perfectly.
So, what does it guide now?
After thinking about it for a while, Matthew can only think of one possibility——
That is, before the Flor flower was picked by him, the petals had already fallen on the ground...so it was guiding the petals that fell unintentionally.
But this is also very strange... If this is the reason, then I should have been able to find it the day I got the Flor flower...
It didn't exist until now that Flora suddenly began to appear strange.
What the **** is going on?
Who is using this flor flower to guide himself deliberately?
Matthew was suddenly lost in thought.
…
Minerva McGonagall was taken away, together with her three students (the three Azkaban fugitives). They are temporarily sent to Azkaban, but before that, they need to undergo some trials!
The house elves have also been eliminated. Since they choose not to obey, they have no value in the wizarding world...
Of course, there are also the centaurs, who must be glad they didn't stay in Hogwarts for too long before they escaped... Otherwise, they would have the same fate as the house-elves.
The whole of Hogwarts was calm again. Mr. Pringle, the administrator of the castle, cleaned the entire entrance hall very carefully, so that the flesh and blood of the house elves would not be too obtrusive. The students have also been sent out of the castle for the time being, because they need to search for the remnants of the Order of the Phoenix in the castle...
The last remaining party...
When Headmaster Gellert Grindelwald returned to his castle again, Professor Vita Rosier and Professor Remus Lupine were waiting for him here.
"Sorry, Lord Grindelwald..." Rozier said apologetically, "We didn't find anything... There are no strange faces in Hogwarts..."
"It's nothing," Grindelwald's voice was very calm, "If he can show his feet in this kind of place, then he can't hide from me for so many years..."
"In addition, the three fugitives were interrogated very harshly..." Rozier continued, "but they don't know the truth...they only know Minerva McGonagall, from A After Zikaban escaped from prison, he only contacted Minerva McGonagall..."
"Peter Pedilu, that Animagus is a mouse wizard...he has been hiding in the castle disguised as a mouse for the past year...his main purpose is to find the secret passage into the principal's office , and frequent contact with Minerva McGonagall..."
"...the way they communicate is through a cat, and we all know that Meg's Animagus is a tabby, and she herself knows that we know it well, so she rarely Appearing in her Animagus form at Hogwarts...the way she connects with Peter is through a cat who seems to be of a certain raccoon lineage, very smart enough to know that McGonagall and Peter's identity, so I have been helping them to send messages!"
"Interesting!" Grindelwald smiled, "So what's the origin of that cat?"
"It should be a student's pet, and we have already executed it; by the way, Lord Grindelwald, do you want to interrogate the owner of that cat?" Rozier continued to ask.
"No need..." Grindelwald shook his head indifferently, "I don't think they will show their flaws in this kind of place, they are just ordinary students... I'm afraid I lost my beloved pet. It's enough to make her uncomfortable..."
"And James Potter...he has been pretending to be an Auror of the Ministry of Magic for the past year, and then used his identity as an Auror to appear in Hogwarts in the name of investigation The various positions of the house... The rebellion and riots of the house elves were planned and instigated by Potter... Potter is also an Animagus, but his Animagus form is a stag, However, this form is obviously not conducive to camouflage, but it will appear extremely conspicuous..."
"...Also, those other Aurors from the Ministry of Magic..." Rozier continued, her voice was very indifferent:
"I don't think they will be clean, because I don't think that the Auror colleagues who get along day and night are disguised with polyjuice potion, and they can't find out...Of course, I have no evidence..."
"If there is no evidence, it doesn't exist," Grindelwald replied very easily, "Honestly, Vita...we have to endure the complaints and opposition from ordinary wizards behind our backs...as long as they don't Stand against us on the bright side, then they will be potential allies..."
"I see, Lord Grindelwald..." Vice-principal Professor Rozier nodded thoughtfully.
"Finally, there's Sirius Black...his Animagus is a black dog, the **** dog that Remus and his students saw a few months ago ...The riot of the centaur was planned by him alone, of course he seems to be unable to control the situation in the end..."
"These three members of the Order of the Phoenix, they all communicated with Mag one-way...No matter what method they used, there was no way to ask another person's name from their mouths...the person who knew the true identity of the last Phoenix , I'm afraid there is only Mag..." Professor Rozier's voice was obviously very disappointed.
"Then I think there's nothing we can do..." Grindelwald shrugged, "It's impossible for her to tell us who the last person is... Besides, I'm afraid she will also delete her own memory It's..."
"So, we can only return without success this time?" Rozier frowned and asked disappointedly.
"No, I don't think it is..." Grindelwald suddenly said again:
"Because I feel, I already guessed who he is!"
"Master Grindelwald..." Rozier said in shock.
"So, leave it to me..."
The figure of Principal Gellert Grindelwald soon disappeared from their eyes.
As the headmaster, it is possible to apparate in the Hogwarts campus.
…
Professor Horace Slughorn lay leisurely on the recliner in his office.
Holding a large glass of delicious mead in one hand, the other hand picks and picks from a box of pineapple preserves from time to time, and doesn't forget to lick his fingers after stuffing it into his mouth.
It's so relaxing.
Until a cloud of light blue smoke suddenly appeared, Principal Gellert Grindelwald suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Good afternoon, Horace!" Principal Grindelwald greeted very elegantly.
"Good afternoon, Headmaster..." Professor Horace Slughorn also looked very calm, "Do you want to try pineapple preserves? Or a glass of mead?"
"No, no, Horace..." Grindelwald shook his head, "Actually, I'm more interested in your plans today. What is the real purpose?"
The Potions teacher raised his eyebrows slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure.
Once again, I poured a glass of mead leisurely and drank it down:
"I'm sorry, principal... I think the answer to this question, I can't tell you..."
"Actually, Horace..." Grindelwald's voice suddenly appeared a little unbelievable, which is very rare in normal times, "I can't figure it out, that phoenix is actually you... In my memory, you have always been a very smooth, very smart person...a smart person like you will not be like a fool like me, who would even sacrifice his own life for the so-called ideal..."
"Principal, I am honored to receive such a high evaluation from you..." Slughorn smiled, and licked the icing on his fingers again.
"But to be honest, I'm not surprised... In the past year, I have exposed more flaws than the previous fifty years combined..." Then, he sighed, "Hey, I still have more flaws. If you want to enjoy it for a few more years... tell me, how did you find me?"
"That girl named Elaine Shafik..." Greenwald said earnestly.
"Is that so... Sure enough, children are still unreliable!" Slughorn immediately sighed.
"Yeah, after all, she's just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. After seeing me, she was so scared that she said everything..." Grindelwald explained.
"A very smart little girl, but it's a pity that she will spend the rest of her life in Azkaban." Slughorn sarcastically.
"Yeah, very smart... So smart that in order to save her father in prison, she would actually think of training the fugitives from Azkaban..." Greenwald didn't seem to be showing weakness.
Slughorn made no rebuttal.
As a matter of fact, Elaine Shafik has too many flaws...
It was through her that Minerva McGonagall sneaked into Hogwarts... Elaine Shafik's father was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for his bad crimes; McGonagall found her and told the girl that she could take the criminals from Azkaban (the previous experience of taking Potter, Black and Peter away), making this little **** the verge of collapse seem to have grasped the last straw .
In this way, the two parties reached a cooperation agreement...
McG turned into a cat and hid in her backpack, and then sneaked into Hogwarts with her.
When it comes time to investigate inside Hogwarts, McGonagall turns into Elaine Shafik.
This is also the time when Matthew ~IndoMTL.com~ saw the truth about two Elaine Shafik in the castle of Hogwarts...
…
"But you haven't answered me yet, Horace?" Grindelwald asked again, "Why did you do this? This is not in line with your character!"
"My character?" said Slughorn coldly. "Indeed, I, Horace Slughorn, am a snobbish, smooth man... I don't care who it is at all." It doesn't matter if it's you or Dumbledore who controls the magic world, even if it's a lunatic who knows nothing but black magic..."
"But, I care about Hogwarts!" Horace Slughorn's expression suddenly became serious.
This may also be the first time he has shown such seriousness in front of outsiders.
"I love Hogwarts... I have taught in this castle for many, many years..." He said slowly, "I remember my colleagues and my proud students... Besides the daily enjoyment Besides, they are the reason for my existence in this world, they are all of me..."
"But with your arrival, Grindelwald, everything is ruined!" Slughorn's voice suddenly became a little angry.
"Principal Armando Dippet... Albus Dumbledore... Minerva McGonagall... Yusuf Shacklebolt..." They died, from this world Disappearing disappearing. My friends at Hogwarts, they all just ignored me...
"There are also my former favorite students...Tom...Mickle...Lily...They have to disappear from this world, maybe I will never get in touch with them in my life..."
"You destroyed everything I hold dear, Grindelwald...that's why I'm against you!"
